Barrhaven Chinese restaurant fined after children hospitalized

An Ottawa Public Health Investigation has resulted in fines against a Barrhaven restaurant, after 25 kids at a Mandarin-language day camp became sick after eating rice from Lotus Chinese Food Take-Out on Fallowfield Road.

Dr. Carolyn Pim, with Ottawa Public Health, says lab tests found bacteria called bacillus cereus in a fried rice dish that was served to the kids.
